What is the delivery mechanism? Analog Cable? Dish Network? DirecTV? Rooftop Antenna? C or Ku band Analog Satellite?
In my experience, the quality problems are more often a result of the delivery, not the generation of the program.
Usually, the quality order is (from best to worst, and not considering HDTV options):
C/Ku-band Satellite
Rooftop Antenna
Dish Network
DirectTV
Analog Cable
Digital cable varies from town to town. It can rival the digital satellite providers but often is no better than Analog cable due to excessive compression.
The C/Ku-band satellite broadcast (sometimes in a higher quality digital form) is often the original from which all the others are derived.
